After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

The Blazing Flame Section.

Dense moisture formed clouds over the ancestral temple.

This scene continued into the next day, attracting the attention of the early-rising members of the tribe.

Ah Yu waited outside the ancestral temple in advance.

"Grandpa Huoxian said that Brother Acan is practicing witchcraft, so all you uncles and aunts, please don't come over here."

Every time a group of people came, Huoyu would stop his Kui Niu Fist to explain, and soon the tribespeople would disperse and get busy.

Before long, the rain began to fall heavily, hitting the firefish as it practiced its boxing.

He looked up and saw that it was only raining near the ancestral temple.

He was already a Mountain Opening Realm martial artist three months ago, and now he possesses the power of the Seventeen Desolations.

Without seeking shelter from the rain, Huoyu continued practicing his Kui Niu boxing.

Ah Chan didn't come out for breakfast today, so he ate two portions.

The light rain in the ancestral temple area stopped abruptly after half an hour.

Priest: Shen Can

Martial Arts Realm: Eighty Desolate Power
Wizarding Realm: Second-Tier Wizard

Divine sense range: 98 feet

Life span: 1098
On the bed, Shen Can felt the doubled magical power within him and got up to stretch his body.

As expected, after advancing to a higher realm, the increase in his own divine sense was less than one zhang. Previously, it was about nine zhang and one chi, so it increased by about seven chi.

I didn't have high expectations, but I wasn't particularly disappointed either.

After all, he is a gifted individual acquired later in life.

With a casual gesture, water vapor gathered in front of him, forming a water arrow with fish-scale patterns, and his aura increased three or four times compared to the first level.

Seeing Shen Can come out, he asked with concern, "Ah Can, are you done cultivating?"

"Ah."

Shen Can nodded, then looked up and saw the ancestral tablets covered in dew, looking rather embarrassed.

The ancestral tablets are made of dry wood, and some have been worshipped for three hundred years.

It's damp now.

He strode quickly toward the altar.

“Master, let me wipe them. When the sun is warmer, I’ll take the ancestors outside to bask in the sun.”

There were many shrines on the altar, and before we knew it, it was noon, and we hadn't even wiped half of them clean.

Outside the ancestral temple, a somewhat chaotic commotion arose among the clansmen.

Hearing the commotion, Shen Can walked out of the ancestral temple to see what was going on.

Ah Yu was sitting outside the ancestral temple, lost in thought, when she saw Shen Can come out.
"Brother Can, the tribesmen who were fishing in the Great Swamp just came back and said that some of their people were swept away by a giant wave, and Uncle Volcano led people to rescue them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Can nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

After arriving at the marshland, it became common for members of the tribe to fall into the water. They would only come to the ancestral temple to tell him about things they couldn't handle.

“Ayu, come into the ancestral temple. Our ancestors need your help.”

Firefish trotted into the ancestral temple, where Shen Can handed him an ancestral tablet and a linen cloth to absorb water for it.

……

The waters are more than ten miles away from the clan's territory.

The water depth is approximately one to three zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

The ferocious water beast with menacing fangs roared angrily as it relentlessly chased after a ten-foot-long, crimson-gold fish.

The red goldfish was covered in water bubbles, and two tribesmen who had fallen into the water were in the bubbles, with one on their head.

This scene greatly surprised the volcano that had rushed over.

Upon seeing the ship approach, large bubbles rose up, pushing the three tribesmen who had fallen into the water towards the volcano.

Then, the volcano saw the golden fish flick its tail, and the water ripples hit the head of the strange fish behind it from a distance.

With a "snap," the water ripples broke into streams.

The strange fish that was originally charging towards them angrily charged towards the red gold fish.

"Brother Shan, this fish is so intelligent! I've never seen a wild beast that saves people before."

"This is my first time seeing this too."

The floating bubbles burst open with a "pop," and the tribespeople inside emerged.

"Zheng!"

The volcano remained silent. The witch arrow in its hand transformed into a streak of light, and with a 'poof' sound, blood spurted from the back of the strange fish as the arrow, including its feathered tip, pierced into its body.

"Shhhhhh!"

After the initial success, the volcano fired three more shots in quick succession.

Arrows pierced the strange fish's body, with one even penetrating its forehead.

Wow!
The strange fish thrashed violently in the water, stirring up huge waves, with water and silt intertwining on the surface.

At this moment, the strange fish was in a state of frenzy before its death, and Volcano urged everyone to keep moving back.

"Whoa!"

Even from a distance, the waves were still several feet high, and the small boat bobbed on the spray. The volcano was forced to stop its repeated bursts of water.

About fifteen minutes later, the strange fish finally stopped struggling, and the blood and mud-stained water surface stretched all around.

The volcano shot another arrow at the strange fish's head, and finding that the fish had finally stopped moving, it called its people forward to prepare to drag the fish back to the tribe.

"Where did that red goldfish go? It's gone."

"Stop searching! If we delay any longer, this strange fish will drain all its blood." "Hurry, if we wait too long, it will be harder to drain the blood."

……

After returning to the tribe, the volcano quickly arrived at the ancestral temple.

"Ah-chan, I just saw a golden-red fish. It actually saved a member of our tribe who fell into the water and even helped me lure away the strange fish..."

Shen Can, who was still taking care of his ancestors, showed interest when he heard what Huoshan said.

Soon, Shen Can saw the third-tier monster fish that had been hunted back, its body covered in cracks and several arrow holes.

"The strange fish struggled too fiercely before it died, wasting too much blood. Even using anesthetic on the surface of the water was ineffective, so it cannot be offered to the ancestral temple."

Shen Can was also a little disappointed that he hadn't caught one alive. He examined the arrow hole that had pierced the strange fish's head and had an idea.

The anesthetic powder is not very effective on large bodies of water; if a whole anesthetic arrow could be used, that would be feasible.

For a third-tier wild beast, its ancestor must eat freshly killed animals.

“Temple, we were about to drown, but we were encircled by bubbles, and the golden fish carried us, while the strange fish chased after us.”

"Yes, the fish's eyes are a deep reddish-gold color, just like jade, and they're also obsidian-black."

"This is the first time we've ever seen a fish that saves people."

The three tribesmen who were saved by the Crimson Goldfish recounted their experiences to Shen Can, drawing a large crowd of tribesmen to gather around them.

"In the Great Wilderness, there are calamity-bringing beasts that bring disaster, and there are also auspicious beasts that bring good fortune."

"The golden-red fish you mentioned might be an auspicious beast."

Shen Can explained to his clansmen that he was now a shaman with some knowledge.

"Auspicious beast, can it stay in our tribe?"

"Yes, yes, I'll catch fish for it to eat every day."

"I fed it the delicious food that my mother had hidden away. If I hadn't woken up in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have known that my mother was lying on top of my father, secretly eating dried meat."

"Ouch...it hurts!"

In an instant, a woman who had been watching the commotion hurriedly pulled a child back.

"That's right, that's right, I saw you sneaking some jerky at night."

……

Standing on the stone dam overlooking the water at the foot of Zushan Mountain, Shen Can gazed at the water.

These auspicious beasts are intelligent and not so easy to catch.

The Lingyu tribe was able to grow and prosper because it found a mythical beast called Lingyu.

The water surface was vast and showed no signs of change, so he could only instruct his people to keep an eye on the water when they went out fishing, to see if they could still find any reddish-gold fish.

The next day, Shen Can had just finished eating breakfast.

The clan elder Huoyun then came to the ancestral temple.

“Ah-chan, the clansmen who farm outside came back and told me that we have opened up terraced fields in the east and irrigated them last night. We were supposed to arrange for watering after weeding these past few days.”

Shen Can, who had just started the Kui Niu Fist stance, immediately put it down.

"Aren't there sentries on the east side? Was there any activity last night?"

“I sent someone to ask, and the sentry said it rained yesterday. I only found out this morning that it rained in the nearby fields. I thought it was your witchcraft.”

There are more than ten acres of terraced fields on the east side. The soil is silt that the villagers specially dug out, and the millet is growing very well.

When Shen Can arrived, he saw more than a dozen subordinates guarding the area outside. The mud was too deep, and they couldn't clear the weeds.

The closest point to the water is only a dozen or so feet away.

"Elder, please arrange for the clan to prepare some delicious food, as well as wild fruits, rice wine, and other things."

Soon, the wooden basin filled with rice wine, meat, and millet was pushed into the water.

Shen Can dismissed his clansmen and sat quietly on the shore.

He also had a similar dish in front of him, and he began to eat it little by little.

"Gulu!"

Half a day later, ripples appeared in the water more than 20 feet away, and a reddish-gold color flashed, looking towards the shore in the distance.

Its eyes were positioned towards its forehead, its skull was protruding and had some crocodile-like markings, and its black pupils were like precious jade as it carefully swam forward.

Seeing the wooden tub floating towards it, it turned to the side and touched it, trying several times in a row.

then.

It opened its mouth wide, lunged forward, and bit into the wooden basin containing wild fruit, performing a fatal roll.

Then, most of the fruit spilled and floated on the water's surface.

"Puff puff!"

A large mouth opened repeatedly from the water, each time filling a mouthful with water and a few wild fruits.

After finishing the wild fruit, he surfaced halfway up the water and looked at Shen Can across the distance.

After a moment of stunned silence, Shen Can reluctantly pushed the bowl of wild fruit in front of him away.

"Wow!"

Death Roll.

The basin spilled again.

　Please continue reading! It just had a competition with the Wednesday recommendation list from last week, and the number of readers dropped by over a hundred the next day. It scared me; I thought the plot had fallen apart.

　　It was later discovered that it was dropped after the chapter on the Five-Year Plan. The plot slows down a bit, so everyone should read it more often, otherwise the Three Rivers chapter will be removed.
